Oh and BTW .. magistrates find guilty in 85% of cases .. regardless of evidence. They are lay people with no special training in Law.

I'll check with my dad who is an ex-copper, but if speeding was a criminal offence, then everyone who sped, regardless of amount, would have a criminal record, and AFAIK, you'd have to be arrested for it, with your miranda rights issued.
Some motoring offences are criminal, such as reckless and dangerous driving, driving whilst under the influence, driving without insurance, license, etc. but they aren't dealt with a fixed penalty (or a camera), they always go to court.
